I hope to keep this blog updated with tales from all of my fishing trips here in Oregon and maybe a few in other western states.

Too much water.
This spring has been a little disappointing on the fishing side of things. We had a lot of snow in the mountains last winter, so now every time in rains, even a little, the river comes up. There should be a fair amount of fish in the river now, but it's just too high to fish it in my opinion. So now I wait. We need at least a few days of dry weather to bring the river down to fishable. I'll have to have everything ready to go so I can just head out as soon as conditions permit. I'll keep you posted. Hope the waters are a little friendlier where you are fishing.

Hi!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should try to fish in some tributary of your river? Trouts may hide there from high, fast water...
Thanks for the pointer Jarek. I really should broaden my horizons in this area. I have been so looking forward to fishing here in town for steelhead I may have neglected some other opportunities.
